People in a variety of settings can be heard uttering the phrase that “knowledge is power” or the relatively equivalent concept that “information is power.” However, the research literature in particular lacks a simple and standardized way to examine the relationship between knowledge...

Behavioral studies show that people are subject to biases in general. Studies in the behavioral finance literature mostly focus on finance professionals and top level managers, and report similar results. This study focuses on professionals outside of the finance industry and who are of lower...

This article describes how there exists ample experimental evidence demonstrating a positive wage-effort relationship in which the results from the employee's effort lead to deterministic firm payoffs. The authors thus investigate a reframed version of the gift-exchange game in which the firms'...

In this paper we propose an efficient solving method based on a parallel scatter search algorithm that accelerates the search time to solve the minmax regret location problem. The algorithm was applied in the context of emergency management to locate emergency vehicles stations. A discrete event...

View selection deals with the selection of appropriate sets of views capable of improving the response times for queries while conforming to space constraints. Materializing all views is infeasible, as the number of possible views is exponential with respect to the number of dimensions and,...

Business intelligence (BI) has proliferated due to its growing application for business decision support. Research on organizational factors may offer significant use in BI implementation. However, a limited number of studies focus on organizational factors for revealing adverse impacts on...

Fuzzy rule interpolation offers a useful means for enhancing the robustness of fuzzy models by making inference possible in systems of only a sparse rule base. However in practical applications, as the application domain of fuzzy systems expand to more complex ones, the curse of dimensionality...

The Governments, military forces and other organisations responsible for cybersecurity deal with vast amounts of data that has to be understood in order to lead to intelligent decision making. Due to the vast amounts of information pertinent to cybersecurity, automation is required for...
